Ah, so I am not the only one. I always try to eat something, but too often I don't have time and skip it so I can be on time for work. God damn you employers for not letting us be a few minutes late to work. If we got a chance to eat a healthy breakfast, we might actually be more productive and in a more positive mood at work! And the 1st person who says to me that I should wake up earlier, f**k YOU. I have a sleep disorder. Sleep onset insomnia. And I take Ambien to fall asleep, which means I have a hard time waking up. So yeah. Walk a mile in my shoes first before you judge okay? Peace!
I just try to get up earlier to make sure I can get something in that's more than just crappy cereal and take my time with it. It's a drag going until a lunch break on an empty or near-empty stomach.
Actually, that is not true. In fact it is quite the opposite. Skipping breakfast is associated with increased incidence of obesity and diabetes. Citation:
Many other articles on the net about that. The theory is that skipping it increases your hunger, and overall results in increased eating over the day. Many other endocrine reasons too.
This still doesn't answer my question, how do I build up an apetite for morning meals? Often I find myself just eating breakfast because I know it's good for me, not because I'm hungry.
That's why over some many Americans are obese! Amazes me how so many people can be uneducated about what they actually put in their mouths..... or dont do, as the case may be! It's the same here in the UK! just mind blowing!
Eating breakfast is directly associated with healthy weights, less probability to having adverse medical conditions, and better cognitive/bodily performance. I'm actually doing research with a fairly large team at a major university on healthy behaviors, or which eating breakfast is one of the most major, and it is associated with a slew of positive outcomes for your health and performance in your life.
Part of the problem is that people who skip breakfast are more likely to be hit by cravings when they do eat at lunch time. Not only are they more likely to consume more calories, but they're likely to crave quick, satisfying calories from fats and carbs and the like.
It's not just that people with healthy habits are more likely to eat breakfast; it's also that eating breakfast makes healthy habits easier throughout the rest of the day.
As someone who does eat breakfast, I know that when I'm forced to miss it occasionally, lunch is far more likely to be a pizza than a salad.

I wonder how many scientists and doctors agree with you on it being bad science?
Show us some opposing research or prove your point.
I support your right to your opinion, but evidence speaks loudly.

Probably a good thing considering people would just eat high sugar, cheap carb cereals with high sugar, low fat milk anyway.
If anything it's probably keeping a diabetes epidemic at bay....

I only eat when I'm hungry and I'm not hungry when I first get up so are they suggesting that I should force feed myself?

Eat dinner early - like at 7 and no snacks at night time. You will def. be hungry when you wake up - exercising before sleeping helps too.

I eat breakfast but not a lot since I always get a break early....
In High School as a senior I skipped breakfast since lunch was early....10:30 am and I woke up at like 7:30...

Yeah, eating breakfast is the most important meal of the day. I feel like crap when I don't have it.

Oh and try taking Sonata instead of Ambien. This is what I take and it seems to work just as well without the same side effects:

If you wake up earlier you'll find yourself picking up an appetite later in the morning.

On the plus side, it might help with the obesity crisis.

Eating a breakfast isn't going to make people with already unhealthy eating habits somehow more healthy.
